An Old Sketch For Something...

A rummage session in a box of old stuff produced this nigh-forgotten little... gem(?) from the bad old days.  Wonder what the heck I was smoking when I drew it--

'Cause I definitely want some more.

My Favorite Time Of The Day

The all-too-brief magic half-hour, when everything is bathed in a nostalgic, otherworldly golden glow.  When Day and Night meet to trade places, and earthly lights begin to assert their own claims.

The Many Colors Of A Hummingbird

So far we have had unseasonably warm weather this winter.  Which means unusually frequent hummingbird sightings in January and February.

The Moon Is Very Far Away, Little Bird... But I'm Coming With You




BTW, the phrasing of the title is borrowed from the ending of the science fiction short story by Keith Laumer, "The Last Command".  It's about an old war veteran who feels out of place in the new society, and an old self-aware AI war machine that he used to be in charge of.  Both were relegated to the past, being no longer needed;  then suddenly they are revived and reunited, and ultimately they choose to go to certain death together -- "It's a long way Lenny... but I'm coming with you..."  I know, it's sentimental...
